Tsonga: Now I can count on my body
Jo-Wilfried commented “All along the season I worked hard to be able to play these matches. When it happens, I’m really happy to have worked hard because I know I can count on my body. It’s something great for me because it was not always like this. Today I’m a lot stronger than I was maybe few years ago. I think it’s good for me.
I feel good. To be honest, the season was difficult with a lot of ups and downs. This surface is one of my favorites. I know I’m able to play good tennis. Before I came here, I didn’t know if I will be able to play that good. I hope it’s going to continue.”
The final vs. Djokovic
Tsonga will now play Djokovic in the final (and that’s not easy!). Head to head is 13-6 for the Serbian, but Tsonga demolished him in their last encounter in Toronto 2014.
